Bought a greddy boost gauge a while ago. But it was fine until I fitted the gauge on my car and took off it again. Now it's reading like pic. It is a mechancial boost guage. I've no idea how to fix this problem. :eek: Thanks

Have you dropped it? It could be because of atmospheric pressure. Does the needle move from day to day? I think the only way to know for sure is to hook it back up to the car and try it out.

I didn't drop it but when I took it off its reading like that. Also I tried to hook it back and start engine again its still same though.

What about when the engine was running? Did it give indications that you expected? Maybe the needle needs a little adjustment.

Yeah, I think the needle need to be adjusted but I don't know how to open the boost gauge.

I opened it now, but seems no way to adjust the needle



Problem solved, just took out the needle and place it back to 0 and it's done.

nice. just make sure that your indications are correct. You don't want to be showing 10psi when you really have 15psi. (bit of an extreme case, but you get the idea)
